You mention it seems to get stuck. That could be an issue with blocking vs. non-blocking io. There is some odd internal logic involved with selecting the blocking or non-blocking having to do with the value of the -e option. I think rsh wants blocking-io but using the -e option turns that off if the -e value is not exactly the same as the build-time default value because most other remote shells want non-blocking. You might try either adding --blocking-io or changing your commandline to specify the user name as part of the remote system ala "[EMAIL PROTECTED]:blahblah" instead of using the -e option. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
